Missouri legislators pass bill targeting Grain Belt Express transmission line

 

The large plan to carry southwest Kansas wind powered electricity across Missouri and to Illinois ran into more problems in the Missouri legislature. The Missouri House voted to ban the use of eminent domain for the Grain Belt Express power line.

The vote was 123-33 in favor of the bill which would prevent the use of property owners’ land for the power line without their permission reported the Associated Press.
